Chargers' Casey Hayward, Forrest Lamp sit with injuries for second day

For the second consecutive day, Chargers star cornerback Casey Hayward and second-year offensive guard Forrest Lamp did not participate during the team’s minicamp drills.

Hayward is dealing with a knee injury while Lamp is still recovering from the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that he suffered before he ever saw a snap of preseason action as a rookie in 2017.

Among others who did not participate during Wednesday’s drill that was open to the media were defensive tackle Corey Liuget, who is tending to a foot injury, and linebacker Kyle Emanuel, who wasn’t available for undisclosed reasons, per ESPN’s Eric Williams. Liuget has been a disappointing player since signing a five-year contract extension worth $51.25 million a couple of seasons ago. Meanwhile, Emanuel was a pleasant surprise when given snaps by coach Anthony Lynn in 2017.

Though both Hayward’s and Lamp’s absence from drills is disappointing given the mandatory nature of the minicamp, neither player’s injuries should stop them from being available for action Week 1 of the 2018 season.
